Windows 95 NIC

The Windows 95 operating system automatically detects
and installs the NIC driver. The following subsections
provide instructions for reinstalling the NIC driver on
systems running a Dell-installed Windows 95, Win-
dows 95 Service Release 1, or Windows 95 Service
Release 2 operating system. Instructions for reinstalling
the NIC driver on systems running a Windows 95 operat-
ing system not installed by Dell are also included.

To determine whether your operating system is Win-
dows 95, Windows 95 Service Release 1, or Windows 95
Service Release 2, click the Start button, point to Set-
tings, and click the Control Panel. Double-click the
System icon to access the System Properties window, and
click the General tab. If your system version is 4.00, then
your operating system is Windows 95. If your system
version is 4.00.950.A, then your operating system is Win-
dows 95 Service Release 1. If your system version is
4.00.950.B, then your operating system is Windows 95
Service Release 2. For Windows 95 operating systems
not installed by Dell, the system version is 4.00.

NOTE: The instructions in the following two subsections
are for the Windows 95 32-bit NDIS 3.0 driver. See
“Using the NDIS 2.01 Drivers With Windows 95” found
later in this chapter for information on using the 16-bit
NDIS 2.01 driver with Windows 95.
